The light levels can change leaf color dramatically in Colocasias. I find lower lights may show the veins more while in some cases in shade you get green leaves in full sun you will be extremely black leaves. I was able to get Coffee cups to flower last summer and I also found a slight variegated mutation on the bottom leaves of one plant. It is not enough to go crazy over but it is interesting. Here is a picture of dark variegation under the leaves of Coffee cups.
